JAMES MARSTERS DONATION ON ITS WAY!!

The Modesto Public Library looks forward to adding your donations to
their collection. The Library should receive 2 sets of Buffy Seasons
1-7, 2 sets of Angel Season 5, and one copy of Firefly sometime
between March 24, 2005 - March 26, 2005. In addition, 2 sets of Angel
Seasons 1-4 are on back order and the library should get them
sometime between May 24, 2005 - May 26, 2005. Thank-you notes are
included in the packaging to Katherine Johnson, the librarian who
assisted us in arranging this donation.

HOUSTON SLAYERCON - NOTIFYING JAMES OF THE DONATION

Representatives of the Whedonverse Multimedia Project will be
attending the Houston Slayer Convention. Since we have the
opportunity to tell James Marsters about the donation in person, we
decided to notify him at the event rather than have a nice formal
announcement sent to him via his management.

To make it a little more special, we've enlisted the help of talented
artist Erin Allen (www.erinallen.com) to draw us an illustration
based one of James more recent photographs. We will give it to him
with the announcement regarding fans generous donation to his
hometown library in honor of his fine work on Buffy and Angel.

We will provide a scan of the beautiful 5' x 7' Portrait on the
Whedonverse.org website after we've given it to James. Look for it
sometime the first week of April.

The announcement card will include the names of those who
contributed, listed here:

Inge W., Neal M., Kathy C., Amy B., Emma B., Emma W., Mary G.,
Jennifer B., Nanette S., Sandra G., Kirsten D., Elise S., Teri T.,
Sharon J., Mary R., Theresa F., Yuriko S., Janice I., Jessie W.,
Stacey Y., Angela H., Janet W., Lynnette J., Kerstin Z., Sylvia D.,
Phyllis A., Emma S., Sheila G., Barry S., Bridgette M., Christie F.,
Lisa H., Arun R., Noriko N., Judith S., Michele W., Jean C., Lisa D.,
Pattie S., Melanie K., and Kathy H.

ALYSON HANNIGAN DONATION

Donations to contribute to the DVDs being sent to the Atlanta-Fulton
County Library in honor of Alyson Hannigan are being accepted until
mid-night March 18th. Currently, we have enough funds to send a
complete set of Buffy Seasons 1-7, but we don't have quite enough to
send a complete set of Angel as well.

Alyson's Birthday in March 24th. We hope to have all the details of
the donation arranged prior to that date so that we can send the
announcement along with a special birthday gift.
